I completed my first RSC finish last night, hand sewing the turquoise binding on whilst we were watching The Jinx.
I used some Twinkler blocks that have been accumulating over a few years of RSC projects. I have made quilts from this pile of blocks before and I still have some left. The block is a great way of using those 2.5” squares I have stashed away and creates a lovely I Spy style of quilt.
This one is destined for the Maternity Unit at our local hospital. They have requested quilts measuring 36” square to cover the tops of incubators and I think this will add a bright splash of colour to the Ward.
The backing was a piece cut from a newer addition to my stash and the binding some turquoise Kona cotton. I had just enough left to do the job.

I had a busy afternoon sewing yesterday. After I sewed the binding onto this quilt I machine sewed the Ticky Tacky Houses Cot quilt that I made last week. I also prepared the pale pink binding for it which may get sewn on this afternoon.
I have just posted a parcel of Santa Sacks for Jan Mac in Australia.
A non-quilty friend gave me a huge bag of Christmas fabrics a couple of years ago and I’ve hardly made a dent in it. They were samples she had been given to pass on to me. The largest pieces were just big enough to make a Christmas Gift bag. These will be used for donated gifts of soft toys for needy children. Jan does amazing work. Take a look at her blog: Sew Many Quilts - Too Little Time.

I also made a few more Ticky Tacky Houses and some Bonnie Hunter Fish blocks.
